There are various of ways to answer this question.

The first books that I remember inspiring a love of reading were probably books by Enid Blyton - possibly Brer Rabbit was the first, not sure. (I know we had some Noddy books too, but I don't remember being impressed.)

The first books that I remember inspiring a love of stories were the Narnia books. I don't remember much from way back then, but I distinctly remember my father reading this series to us kids.

The first books that inspired a love of books ... well, who knows? I grew up surrounded by them. Being a younger sibling has its advantages, not least of which are all the books your elder siblings have already accumulated - some hand-me-downs can be very good.
